Hi guys , im glad to see you still honoring Rich's memory. A great big bellow of encouragment from this old timer and i must say im not able to participate, heheh, maybe next one and maybe if i decide to unretire^^

But ...I still remember Rich I guess this would serve well as a kind of remembering to any of us who forgot. Rest well buddy wherever you are now.

Wasnt his manager name Game Ogre? If so, then I do remember him, and remember how he passed. If not, then I am sorry I either do not remember or it was before I started. Either way, it sucks losing someone you obviously care about, and I feel ya.

You are correct Rich was Game Ogre, and richh10 on the yahoo board. Just to update, don't remember if I did or if I just told MD, his assailant was convicted and under the "special circumstances" laws was sentenced to death; he commited several murders that week. I find myself often thinking of Rich still to this day and our talks of meeting someday probably at a FtF and how it will never happen.

I did consider running another of these to coincide last November with the 5th anniversary of his passing but other contests were running or about to run and didn't want to take away from them. It may or may not happen again but at the very least HIS idea was fulfilled and many managers participated and enjoyed it! They made it a success!

Lord willing we will still meet someday my friend (RIP)!

Ill fill u in quickly, but u might want to read back through the threads if u have time. It was a tournament in memory of a player who met an untimly death in real life. This war our tournament in his honor. I kinda messed it up at the end by accident but it was still one heck of a competetion
